best looking (good) horse you ever saw

[dilanesp]

Mine is Easy Goer. The two times I saw him in person, he lost both times. (He didn't lose very often.)

But man, what a beautiful horse. Big and bright and chestnut and muscular. I WANTED him to win.

Here he was at his best:

He had an ankle the size of a watermelon.

Zenyatta...without a doubt. I love it when the horses have the "personality" that backs up their 'good looks'.

Gawd I love talking horses! Especially beautiful horses. Thing is nearly all are beautiful in their own way when you get to know them well.
I think one of the most beautiful stallions ever is Malibu Moon, but there sure as heck is a LOT of competition. Whirlaway was a special looker.

Thask, your choice is one no one can help but love. Lawd all mighty she is awesome. Still is. High on my most special horse list of horses that weren't mine.

I was lucky enough to watch them saddling Landaluce at DelMar in 1982.


She was breathtaking. So powerful looking compared to any 2 year old filly I have seen to this day. She was a freak. But a beautiful freak

I have three. The first is Lady’s Secret at Saratoga. She was built like a freak . Hershel Walker in wheels. Rachel at the Preakness . Pimlico has the cheesy deal where they walk practically thru the crowd. She was dressed to kill. The best though was Wise Dan at Saratoga. I’m a paddock guy. Watch em all saddle and walk to track. That horse was a specimen and he was smart as hell. You could see him eye balling the crowd like he knew he was the king. Not a nervous bone in his body...... he owned the joint and knew it.

In person,
Manila at Saratoga in '87 has always stood out to me, what a beast, ended up losing the Bernard Baruch while being ganged up on, maybe his only loss that year.

Risen Star was an incredibly powerful looking one too. One of the best put together horses I have seen.

Filly or mare, Tiffany Lass, saw her in New Orleans, , long, lean muscle, coal black like her sire I think, Bold Forbes. A real elegant style to her I have not seen since. She knew she was special. She won the Fair Grounds Oaks, Fantasy and Kentucky Oaks in a three race sequence in '86. Laz Barrera trained her. I think Rachel's Alexandra had a similar look to her, but I did not see her in person.

Ahh great choice. And while we are on the ladies, Rachel Alexandria was a beauty.

Skip Away, Cigar and Waquoit. Saw them run at Suffolk Downs. Cigar was a ham.

I was always partial to Lure.

Cigar definitely.

Sunday Silence, like that dark dark bay type horse.

Forego, without a doubt!

Didn't turn out to be a superstar, but I thought Dortmund was as good a physical specimen as you will see:




This guy wasn't too shabby either:
